Sorry no, I have not done any ROM development. I mostly helped a few developers with some fancy scripts to fix the stuff Motorola broke when they did WebTop, Ubuntu linux, on the Atrix 4G. Arvati's fix apt-get script was incredible work and I was able to help him a little with that and I was...

Great battery life. I am not seeing that much. My "Cell Standby" is way higher than yours.

New to Samsung devices I am a total noob when it comes to Samsung devices. Also, I've been just living with stock Android on my Moto for about a year and feel like I am starting from scratch. Any good threads/how-to's you can point me to. I want to get up and running on this device...

Exactly the reasons I chose the Rugby Pro. S3 too huge and impractical since I am a home remodeller/construction guy. Rugby Pro decent specs, not too big, and LTE.

I have one here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476157&highlight=atrix+4g+with+docks , scroll to the bottom. I could ship it to UK. PM me and we'll talk.

Use Root Explorer to create the /etc/webtop2sd folder and copy busybox into it. Do not create a link to busybox in the folder, copy and paste it there.

Use Root Explorer, to find the /etc/webtop2sd directory. Is Busybox installed there? If not, it needs to be.

If you have Moboot 0.3.5 you can probably skip these. cd /tmp curl -O http://moboot.googlecode.com/files/moboot_0.3.5.zip unzip moboot_0.3.5.zip mv uImage.moboot_0.3.5 /boot/uImage.moboot cd /boot rm uImage ln -s uImage.moboot uImage ln -s uImage-2.6.35-palm-tenderloin uImage.webOS

I am tri-booting after following those instructions. Moboot works fine, just make sure it is up to the latest version.

The main developer on this is crimsonredmk. He is a student. Over the holidays the devs did a lot of work, but school is in session and he is busy. Be patient.

Sorry to say, that kind of error is usually related to the object in the seat facing the device. Double check all commands, syntax, and PATHs you type. Might fix the problem. Please click the thanks button, if you've got it send a little something to the developer after you get it up and running.

Have you tried the combination of the "Home" button and the "Power" button? Hold both down until you see the screen change, usually 15 - 30 seconds. This is a hard restart command.

Best bet is to compress the movies to a filesize less than 4 GB.

Open the Terminal from the menu. su password = root

Can you still boot into webOS? After webOS Doctoring you will need to re-enable Developer Mode, if you haven't already. If you can get into webOS, try to resize your /dev/media back to it's full size then re-doctor. Here's how to resize the media, from crimsonredmk's README. You can do this...

I did it, followed the ArchWiki and it works. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/E17

Correct, not required.

You need to follow the directions in the Instructions text. Be careful, some are just explanations, but most are terminal commands.

Are you seeing any weird behavior? Mine regularly presents the Gnome desktop after using an app from the base install. After that happens, Enlightenment just about shuts down. A reboot fixes it. It makes me feel like both Gnome and Enlightenment are trying to run and are fighting over the user...

Have you run the webtop scripts to fix apt and dependencies? The thread for that is located here. Arvati is great about helping if you have problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192488&highlight=guide+webtop+fixes

Everything I've seen on webtop2sd uses sudo not su. It's a Ubuntu thing, and the OS on the webtop is Ubuntu.

illume profile It will be great once I become enlightened.

LXDE looks exactly like it does on your laptop or desktop. Touch interface does work but it is nothing special. What do you want for a measly 25 MB installed. On-screen keyboard works properly on LXDE, not like it does on Gnome (same keyboard). Some minor bugs and glitches. I have e17 up and...

That is a symptom of not having busybox in the /system/etc/webtop2sd directory. It has to be copied there, it cannot be linked. If that directory does not exist you have to create it and copy busybox from your /system/bin.

Thanks for the reply. I did it a little differently and it works also. ---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ---------- I installed LXDE and used it's login manager to choose between Desktop Environments at boot. It defaults to whatever the previous boot...

keyboard I did the following to get an on-screen keyboard in terminal. It is different than the one in the Applications > Accessories menu. It is still a bit annoying, but it goes away when you close the terminal. Applications > System Tools > System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Universal...

Sweet. I am playing around with getting KDE Plasma Active installed and running. Let you know if I get anything accomplished. pacman -Ss kde plasmafinds kde-plasma-mobile-git 20111219-1. It installs, now to get it to run.

It's easy now, very clear and concise instructions. Takes about twenty minutes, not counting waiting on one of the downloads.

I was a little confused by the mixing of Ubuntu and Arch referenced in your post, sorry.

Not required to get it up and running, but useful for a real keyboard. The on-screen keyboard is annoying.

Don't know where you got that info, but it is out of date. crimsonredmk has this booting into Gnome 3 desktop by default. It is an alpha so it's not fully functional, but it is pretty nice. http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1948 Plus, this is the Ubuntu thread. ArchLinux ARM...

I read somewhere that you need to make wallpapers 1536x1024 for the TouchPad. That will make them display correctly. Sorry, don't know where, it's just in my notes.

Connect it to the computer, do not put it into usb mode. Run the novaterm command as your regular user. Once novaterm is open and you have the TouchPad/webOS prompt, run these commands. lvmputs you into lvm management mode lvsshows all logical volumes Delete unneeded volumes, like archlinux and...

Don't know how accurate this is, but Internalz Pro shows the /boot directory as 9.21MB. Edit - Just checked in novaterm with the du -xh command. The /boot directory is 9.21 MB with approx 4.6 MB usage (webOS only). The remaining space is what's available for moboot, cm7, archlinux, ubuntu, etc.

Thanks for testing this out and coming back to give a report. This will be very helpful for a lot of people.

One word of caution, since a lot of the people here don't use linux daily. When using the dd command, triple check that you have the correct storage location (dev/partition/etc) and have typed the command you want correctly. dd is a very powerful and useful tool and it will happily do exactly...

You need to apply the fixes to awn and lxterminal. If I remember correctly you do these from within webtop. You need to run webtop scripts to fix apt problems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192488&highlight=guide+webtop+fixes

webtop2sd does not contain a copy of the webtop app/files. It only copies over the webtop which is in the original location. If that webtop works and doesn't have any mods which are incompatible with webtop2sd, the new webtop on the sd should work. If the internal webtop is borked or...

Thank You!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks, ncinerate. I use this guide to start my setup and the ones I've done for a friend.

Thanks, I'll check this out tonight.

School's out for Christmas! Hey, wasn't that an Alice Cooper song. To celebrate and reward myself, I am going to install this. I have run into a problem. When I am in novacom, how do I transfer a file from my hard drive to the TP? What is the PATH for my hdd when in novacom? I can easily...

Unless something has changed in the last few months, this script is only tested by the developer on a stock rom and webtop. Any others which work are just a fortunate bonus. That being said, I have not read anything in this very long thread which includes CM and successful use of this script.

It usually is, when you live in a Windows world.

Y cable I ordered the Y-cable because I don't have one. And I need one of everything!

The way I made all this work was 1 - Apply the webtop2sd script to a rooted but stock Atrix - Sogarth is a genius - Thanks so much 2 - Run the WebTop Scripts by arvati - Arvati is one very dedicated guy, that script was a huge amount of work - Thanks so much As far as I know (Sogarth will...

When I went to USB mode in WebOS and put the file in the root of the drive then rebooted into CMW it did not show the .zip in the list for install zip from sd card. I tried it twice.

One point that might be confusing to newer users. In step 2, when you connect the TouchPad to the computer and put it into USB mode. You have to be booted into the Android OS or the CWM recovery does not see the .zip file you need.

You're welcome. Click the "Thanks" button, please.
